Maddie's Infection Control Manual for Animal Shelters

The Center for Food Security and Public Health at Iowa State University's College of Veterinary Medicine developed and produced Maddie's^® Infection Control Manual for Veterinary Students and Animal Shelter Veterinarians.

The purpose of the handbook is to enhance knowledge about infection control measures in the shelter environment and to aid veterinary professionals in the development and implementation of infection control protocols.

The manual includes training materials on CD as well as disease-specific fact sheets and PowerPoint presentations for animal shelter veterinarians to use in training shelter staff and volunteers.

More than 3,000 copies have been distributed to eighteen colleges of veterinary medicine, members of the Association of Shelter Veterinarians, and to animal shelters. The Manuals are available upon request from the University for $30 plus shipping and handling.
